Kevin and Danny walked out of Mr. Valjean's office, Kevin having no emotion on his face and Danny looking unimpressed.

"Let's go, Enjolras." Danny snapped.

"Go where?"

"Home. I'm suspended. Now let's go."

"Can't I just walk home or get an uber or something? I still have classes. I shouldn't be missing out on my education because you decided to be a dumbass and hit your boyfriend."

"Let's go, Enjolras!" Danny said with more force.

"I can take him home after school," Kevin suggested.

"Don't try to be nice to me, Price. Not after all that shit, you said in Mr. Valjean's office."

"I'm not being nice to you, I'm being nice to your brother. I have no problem driving him home, and I'm sure Grantaire won't mind either."

"I don't give a shit anymore. He can live with you for all I care." Danny said then left abruptly.

"Thank you, Kevin, but I really can just take an uber."

"It's no big deal. I honestly don't mind."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. Just meet us out front after school."

"Ok. Thank you. See you guys later." Enjolras said.

"No problem, see you." Kevin waved to Enjolras as he left to go to his class leaving Kevin and Grantaire the only ones in the waiting area. "Are you alright?"

Grantaire hadn't said a word the whole conversation and just stood there in panic knowing Enjolras will be in the same car as him. He had no idea what had been going on with him all day. His mouth was dry and his stomach was doing flips. He was afraid if he spoke he would say something stupid.

"Yeah, I'm alright." He lied.

"You look like Cosette when we go to the mall."

"I'm fine, Kevin. I'm gonna go to class now." He stood up and left down the hallway. On his way, he ran into Heather.

"Oh hey, R." She said.

"Hey, Heather. How's Connor?"

"He's got a black eye. He got released and he's in class now. How did everything go down with Mr. Valjean?"

"Danny's suspended and now were taking his brother home."

"Good, I'm glad Mr. Valjean suspended him."

"Why aren't you in class?" He asked curiously

"Why aren't you in class?" She asked back at him.

"I just left the office. Wait, I asked you first."

"Totally not skipping class."

"Sounds about right. Well, I'm gonna actually head off to class and not skip. See you tonight."

"Bye kiddo."

"I don't see why you don't just ask her out. She clearly likes you back." Courfeyrac said to Marius. They were in History class and the teacher had them working in groups of four.

"But what if she says no?" Marius said.

"She's not gonna," Combeferre answered.

"Marius you need to chill. There's absolutely no way she would say no to you. You're charming and handsome and an all-around great guy. Heck, I'd date you! Not saying I would, but... whatever, it doesn't matter. My point is, she would have to be a fool not to date you." Eponine said. His other friends agreed.

"Fine, I'll ask her out. Maybe to a movie or to get ice cream."

"Ice cream. Now can we please get back to the project, it's worth a lot of our grade?"

"Oh yeah..." Marius answered. They then silently get back to work on their project. A few seconds later, barely giving them any time to get any work done, Marius spoke again. "Ok, but what if she says no."

"Why are you so paranoid? She's obviously going to say yes." Combeferre said giving him a pat on the back.

"You never know for sure."

"Which is why you ask."

"Ok! Ok, I'll do it. After school though."

-

"Then I told him about the time he flooded the bathroom and he remembered how upset he was about that." The school day was over and Kevin was at Cosette's locker telling her what happened in her dad's office early that day.

"That did make him pretty upset."

"Hey, Cosette," Marius said behind her. She turned around and immediately started blushing.

"Oh, hey, Marius."

"I was wondering if you wanted to get ice cream with me Sunday." He was extremely nervous and was fidgeting with his hands.

"I would love to." She smiled and he smiled back, shocked she had said yes.

"Alright. See you then."

"See you." He walks away leaving Cosette and Kevin alone again. "Oh my God, Kevin! Did you see that?!" She squealed.

"Yes, I was standing right here."

"I'm going on a date with Marius!" She grabbed his shoulders and shook them while jumping up and down.

"Whoa!"

"Sorry! I'm just really excited." Grantaire walks over with a confused look.

"Hey, Grantaire, why don't you go find  Enjolras and tell him I'll be a second. Marius just asked Cosette out on a date and now I'm trying to calm her down."

Grantaire nodded and left towards the front of the school where Kevin said to meet. He saw Enjolras there and his heart started racing.

"Hey, Enjolras. Kevin will be a second, he's calming a friend down."

"That's alright. I'm not really in a rush to get home anyway. Plus, I like your company." They stayed quiet for a few seconds. Then Grantaire tried to make conversation.

"So... what's your favorite pasta type." He mentally slapped himself. Why would he ask such an odd question? Why was he acting so strange? It had to be because he was possibly a new friend, right? That's what he kept telling himself.

"I'd have to say... linguine." He answered after thinking for a second.

"Oh look, there's Kevin now," Grantaire said as Kevin approached then hoping to end this odd situation.

"Hey! What are you guys talking about?" Kevin asked.

"Pasta," Enjolras answered.

"Right... Are you guys ready to go?"

"Yeah." They both said and they left. The entire car ride consisted of them screaming along to 80s music and the occasional One Direction. Not before long, they ended up in front of his house.

"Hey, Enjolras, before you leave, how long will your car be in the shop for?" Kevin asked.

"Till Friday. Why?"

"If you want, I don't mind picking you up and dropping you off. That way you don't have to deal with Danny or pay for an uber."

"You don't have to do that."

"It's not out of my way. I insist."

"Alright, if it's not too much."

"Of course not! Here," Kevin them scrambled for a piece of paper and a pen and wrote on it. "Here's me and Grantaire's number's, call or text us if you need anything. We'll pick you up at 7?"

Hello 😳 yes, I'm alive, I got locked out of my account. Don't ask how because idk...

Like I opened the app and it was like "lol you're logged out 🤪" and it wouldn't let me log in.

And then I would try to reset my password but for months I kept putting in the wrong email so it wouldn't work and I was so confused as to why it wasn't working... like DUH IT'S NOT GONNA WORK

But I'm back, so expect more of this book 🥰 I missed writing it
